The Vanishing of Ethan Carter

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter was just announced for PlayStation 4 last week at Gamescom, and if that was your first look at The Astronauts first game, you’re in for a treat. The small team of eight is using a new photgrammetry approach to visuals, which enables more realistic environments.
The video below is a 13-minute walkthrough narrated by Adrian Chmielarz (formerly of People Can Fly). The game puts players in the shoes of occult detective Paul Prospero, who is on the hunt for a boy who disappeared following a murder.
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter will be out for PC on September 25. The PlayStation 4 version is due next year.
